Rinda's blog

past few weeks on other posts many people well Kerry and Bizzi had written about their experiences with mental heath treatment.

Life for my son, now 17 has pretty much been the same.

I current have dx him myself as "locked in a room by his birth mom for 7 years and then placed in foster care and then treated like crap at public schools syndrome" 

I call it for short "the system sucks disorder"  SSD

I fully believed at one time my son had RAD and only RAD. Part of the problem is the mental health system is also not so much about helping people but in many ways about making money. He has been diagnosed everything from ADHD, Mentally Retarded, OCD, Autistic, Bipolar, Learning Disabled, Slow Learner, Dissociative Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, RAD, PTSD, and Depression. He has real licensed psychologist say he does not have each of those as well.

RAD blogs

The internet is littered with RAD blogs… sometimes I read them for sick twisted not fun , not interested, more of fascination of see how parent after parent is trapped into the RAD cult, without knowing. Sadly also is how often children end up in out of home care anyway. Where help never comes any way (more like the treatment Bizzi writes about) Here is one I recently ran across.  http://threesmithkids.blogspot.com/   I could provide a very long list if you guys want. 
Parents are so easily swept up into the cause. No one else is providing any answers or help. They group up. They complain.
but they often make me think, do they even know how normal kids act?  they don't know the truth about the RAD cult leaders the follow usually when they get started. 
www.childrenintherapy.org has more info on that...

Sad, but I have been saying this for years....  even 14 year old boys who are African American have people wanted to adopt them.... 

When I was trying to adopt it was almost impossible to get a straight homestudy to adopt children from foster care.  There were upwards 300 families that would inquire about waiting children on lists; 

the mess up system would not let many kids get adopted.

Teen Mom

my heart goes out to the kids who gave their child away like that on the MTV show...  I have no idea why she is on the Teen Mom show because in a lot of ways she is not a mom now...  it just once again goes to show how messed up the system is... 

I honestly feels so bad about the entire thing; because as I have said before Bethany Christian Services is the best adoption agency around here.  There are so many more out to get money off of parents and sell babies; or a newer problem where they run treatment foster care programs and don't really want to place any child but have found a new way to make money....

Bethany was the best here.  And you could tell all the lies that were told to those 2 young kids.  Wonder why the system didn't help them keep their child (she just didn't want her child abused like she had been :( )

recently I've been pissed off about a story of adoption disruption out of Oklahoma for a number of reasons I really won't go into

but mostly I am just sick of how messed up the government is;

Odds are when a family is having trouble with a child in their home in the USA they will be told to go to RAD cult therapy; known by other things; but the RAD cult therapy kind of sums up our life experience with the crap (being held down on air mats for hours to cry about what ever sick reason we had for wanting to adopt a child anyway)

of course this did not improve the child's behavior any and cost me a lot of things

but today I run across one of the groups that sent us there; government funded groups
